Family of Bayezid II (quite big lol)

+1 information about the daughter of Mahmud, Ayşe:  She surely was still alive between November 1555 and November 1556 since she is listed in Old Palace register with a daily stipend of 70 aspers. 

The same 70 apsers daily stipend was given to Sehzade Ahmed’s unnamed daughter. We dont know if this stands for Kamer, Fatma or the unknown daughter.

About his daughters:

Selcuk Sultan 1459-1508 - mother unknown - she married twice: 1/Ferhad Bey in 1484; 2/Mehmed Bey in 1486 - she had five children: 1/ Nesl-i Şah who died in 1564, she married Halil Paşa in 1510; 2/Gaazi Husrev Bey who was governor of Sarajevo, which he developed into a great city, then he was governor of Smederevo (1521), governor of Bosnia (1526-1533), then governor of Belgrade in 1533 and again governor of Bosnia from 1536 to 1541. He died in Sarajevo and was buried there. 3/ Hanzade who married her cousin, a son of Ilaldi Sultan 4/ unnamed princess who married the son of Halil Paşa (her eldest sister’s husband) in 1510; 5/unnamed princess who married twice, the first time to Grand Vizier Yunus Pasha and the second time to Defterdar Mehmed Çelebi (later Grand Vezier and Egypt governor)

Ayşe Sultan 1465 - after 1515 - she may have been sister to Şehzade Ahmed or to Şehzade Korkut. Ahmed was born in 1466 Korkud in 1467 so Ayşe surely was born before them. - she married Güvegi Sinan Pasha in 1480 and had several (at least 6) children but we don’t have information about each one of them: 1/ GevherŞah who married one İbrahim Bey 2/ KamerŞah who married the son of Grand Vizier Mesih Paşa 3/ Fatma who married another son of Grand Vizier Mesih Paşa 4/ Ahmed Bey; 5/ Mustafa Bey; 6/Hanzade Ayşe Mihrihan who later married Dukaginzade Sultanzade Mehmed Paşa and had a daughter Mihri Hatun, who surely was alive between 1555 November and 1556 November. - she built a mosque and a school in Gallipoli and in 1505 she established a foundation

Hatice Sultan 1465 - 1500 - the identity of her mother is unknown - she married to 1/ Müderris Kara Mustafa Pasha around 1479 and had two children with him: Ahmed Çelebi (1480?-1500) and Hanzade; 2/ she married Faik Pasha after 1483 - she built a mosque, school and fountain in Edirnekapi - she was buried in Bursa in the Hatice Sultan Tomb, built by her son

Gevherimülük Sultan 1467 - 1550 - mother unknown - she married to Ahmed Pasha and had 2 children: 1/ Nesli Şahwho died in 1559, she married Dukaginzade Iskender Pasha; 2/ Mehmed Pasha who died in 1557, was governor of Aleppo and Egypt, he married his cousin Ayşe Hanzade Mihrihan, daughter of Ayşe Sultan - she built a school near the Zal Mahmud Pasha Mosque, and she was buried there

Şehzade Hundi Sultan 1465(?) - 1511 - some suggest a birth date of 1470 but it is not correct as she was the daughter of Bülbül Hatun and so Şehzade Ahmed’s sister. Ahmed was born in 1466 so Hundi had to be born before him. - Hersekzade Ahmed Pasha was her husband from 1484 and had children with him: 1/ Mustafa Bey who was governor of Bozok and died in 1533 killed by rebels in his province; 2/ HümaŞah who died after 1551; 3/ Musa Bey

Ilaldi Sultan ? - before 1518 - mother unknown - she had two children with her husband Hain Ahmed Pasha: 1/Aynişah who died after 1531 and married Abdüsselam Çelebi; 2/ unnamed son who married his cousin, the unnamed daughter of Selçuk Sultân - she wrote a congratulation letter to Selim I

Aynişah Sultan  1464(?) - after 1512 - daughter of Şirin Hatun and sister of Şehzade Abdullah (b. 1465) - she married Akkoyunlu Damad Göde Ahmed Bey in 1490 and had children: 1/ Hanzade who married to Yahyapaşazade Gaazi Küçük Bali Paşa; 2/ unnamed princess who married Şehzade Alaeddin, one of Şehzade Ahmed’s sons - she built a school in Istanbul and established a foundation in 1506 - she sent letters of congratulations to Selim I when he became sultan

Hüma/Hümaşah Sultan ? - after 1504 - mother unknown - she married Antalyalı Bali Paşa around 1482 - she was buried in Bursa

Kamer/Kamerşah Sultan ? - ? - she was the daughter of Gülruh Hatun - she was married to Damad Nişanci Kara Davud Pasha, with whom she had a daughter who later married one Mesih Bey. - she was buried in the tomb of her mother in Bursa

Şah/Şehzade Şah Sultan ? - after 1506 - her mother is unknown - she married Nasuh Bey around 1490 and had a daughter - she was involved in charity - she built a mosque in 1506 - she was buried in her sister Hatice’s mausoleum in Bursa

Sofu Fatma Sultan 1466(?) - after 1515 - she was the daughter of Nigar Hatun and sister of Şehzade Korkut and since  Korkut was born in 1467 so actually Sofu Fatma should born even before 1464/5/6. - she married Güzelce Hasan Bey around 1504 and had two children with him: 1/ Mehmed Çelebi who later married Ayse Sultan daughter of Şehzade Alemşah; 2/ unnamed daughter who later married Ahmed Bey, son of Ali Bey and Fatma Hanımsultan - about her marriages it is possible she had a first marriage which is not listed by most historians (she would be too old for a first marriage in 1504). She should have a first marriage around the early 1480's. About the identity of the first hubby: Öztuna claims Sofu Fatma's firs husband was İsfendiyâroğlu (Cândâroğlu) Mirza Mehmed Pasha, son of Kyzyl Ahmed Bey. Öztuna gives no marriage date. The problem is, Fatma remarried in 1504 but the pasha was alive until 1530. I don't see why would they divorce, so well I don't know. Öztuna claims they had a son, Mehmed Bey, together who later married Selim I's daughter Gevherhan. Its fine Fatma's son Mehmed did marry Gevherhan okay. But then why would she name her second son also Mehmed? Because she had a son Mehmed from her second marriage who married Ayse Sultan daughter of Şehzade Alemşah. So just why 2 Mehmeds? I dunno this... Maybe one of the names is mistaken?  - she was charitable --> left all her possession to the poor when she died - she was buried in the tomb of her half-brother Şehzade Ahmed in Bursa

Sultanzade Sultan ? - ? - daughter of Hüsnüşah Hatun and sister of Şehzade Alemşah

Do we know anything about Selim I relationship with his sisters? I know Aynisah wrote him a letter of congratulations when he ascended the throne but that’s it really

Sorry for the wait, I’m still sick, unfortunately. 

Selçuk (or Selçukşah) Sultan: according to both Öztuna e Sakaoğlu (Alderson too), she died before Selim I's accession, either in 1508 or in 1512.

Hatice Sultan: she died in 1500 according to Öztuna. She was in Bursa and Selim I was governor of Trabzon at that time so I don't think they had much of a relationship.

İlaldi Sultan: when Selim I ascended the throne, she congratulated him with a letter but stated that "current affairs" prevented her from going to Istanbul. Uluçay says that she doesn't figure among the princesses receiving a stipend in 1518 so she must have died before that.

Gevherimülük Sultan: even though she died in 1550 at the age of 83-ish years old, I could not find anything linking her to Selim I. This is most probably due to the fact that, according to Öztuna, she was Şehzâde Ahmed's sister. Şehzâde Ahmed was Selim I's big challenger to the throne, also because he was supported by Bayezid II himself.

Ayşe Sultan: according to Sakaoğlu she died after 1512, Öztuna says instead that she was alive up until 1515. She may have been a sister of Şehzâde Ahmed or Şehzâde Korkut, which would explain why she didn't seem to have any link with Selim I.

Hundi Sultan: she was Şehzâde Ahmed and died in 1511.

Şâh-zâde Sultan: she died in 1520 but I couldn't find anything.

Şah Sultan: she died after 1506 and she may have been a sister of Şehzâde Ahmed

Hüma Sultan: she died in 1504 in Bursa.

Unnamed princess: no information about her, only that she married Dâmâd Muslih Bey

Unnamed princess [2]: no information about her, only that she married Dâmâd Gaazî Yâ'kub Paşa who had, apparently, been Sultan Cem's tutor.

Unnamed princess [3]: we do not have a date of death for her but I think it's interesting that her son married Şehzâde Ahmed's daughter Fatma Sultan.

Kamer Sultan: she was Şehzâde Alemşâh's sister but we do not have dates of birth or death. Sakaoğlu calls her Kamer-Şâh but Öztuna claims they are two different princesses.

Kamer-Şâh Sultan: no date of death but I think it's interesting that she married Dâmâd Mustafa Paşa, called by Öztuna "Şehzâde Ahmed's vizier". If she was truly that closely linked to Ahmed, I doubt that she was in high favour with Selim I (if she was alive when he became sultan, of course)

Sofu Fatma Sultan: sister of Şehzâde Korkut, she spent her days in Bursa mourning her brother after his execution. We don't have a date of death but she was buried in Şehzâde Ahmed's mausoleum in Bursa.

Fatma Sultan: according to Öztuna, she was a different princess from Sofu Fatma. She died before 1512 but her son married Selim I's daughter Gevherhan Sultan in 1509, so she and her husband must have been on his side.
